Common Places People Forget to Clean

8 Common Cleaning Spots You're Missing

When you're doing a little bit of dusting and cleaning up this weekend, remember to do a thorough job. We often clean surfaces and things that are visible, but we forget about the hidden nooks and crannies in our homes. Here are some spots you may want to tackle today:

Under your cushions. While you're vacuuming your floor, suck some of the grime out from beneath your sofa cushions.

Telephone buttons. We use phones all the time, but rarely think about cleaning them. Use a disinfectant wipe and quickly wipe down your phone buttons.

Window tracks. We often clean the windows but forget about the window tracks. Use an old toothbrush and a cleaning solution of your choice (like vinegar) and scrub away.

Toothbrush holder. One important piece of hygiene equipment that we neglect is our toothbrush holder. It's definitely a health hazard to neglect it because the bacteria can spread to your brush. Fill your holder up with water and drop an Alka-Seltzer in it to clean.

I always clean the tops of the ceiling fans also there is a grill at the bottom of the refrigerator, remove it, vacumn underneath to get out the yuck that is there and before you return the grill clean and shine it. Another place I tend to forget is the overhead light fixtures.
